We are renewing the main playground in Olympic Park in New Lynn and we want your ideas on what to include.
The new Sand Play Zone has opened. This is a space where children can uncover fossils and play in the sand together.
The refreshed Olympic Park playground will include five new discovery zones. Each zone will offer a different way to:
- play
- explore
- imagine.
Some parts of the playground are already decided:
- The playground will stay in its current spot at Olympic Park and the layout will not change much.
- The Sand Play Zone is already finished and will remain as it is.
- We will keep the flying fox, basketball area and perimeter path.
What we want your feedback on
We would like your feedback on:
- what types of play and activities you would like to see in each area of the playground
- how each area should look and feel.
We will use your feedback to help guide the concept design.
